An excellent read, despite that a dark subject matter was always in the back of your mind.
Was anyone else almost taken in by Artur Nebe's trap at the end?
I think I would have been had I been Xavier March just knowing that the painful torture would have subsided.
I think though that the pain he endured made him focus on who had decieved him and eventually he came to Jaeger as the answer, so the fact that Jaeger was in the car at the end would have made me realise Nebe's plot.
I smiled too the other day when reading the papers about some of the lost "spoils of war" only just coming to light, especially some of the old masters. |
Despite having the read the book many a moon ago I almost feel like i'm losing out from being able to discuss this properly as can't seem to remember shit!! Who was Artur Nebe again?
